If you’ve been dreaming about an exotic Maldives getaway, you may wish to use your favorite browser to learn exactly what you’ll have to sacrifice if you say yes to vacationing at this Indian Ocean destination. Our cursory look painted a true picture of why even so-called “budget-friendly” trips still require visitors to spend a fortune.
We asked editors at the Low-Cost Vibes website why Maldives costs are so high. They cite higher-than-average rates at resorts plus “the cost of getting around by seaplane or speedboat” as prime cost drivers. Wouldn’t it make more sense to get exactly the same experience close to home? Manta Island Resort is not just a compelling alternative to the Maldives, but this lush Belize resort specializes in the kind of barefoot luxury that compares to the ultimate south seas experience, minus the average $2000 airfare!
Compare Manta to the Maldives, and the decision is easy
Both Manta Island Resort and the 26 Maldives islands are classified as atolls, ancient coral reefs that host thousands of species of marine life. Both are home to graceful manta rays, which means diving and snorkeling opportunities abound. You’ll find 17th-century architecture in the Maldives, while Manta Island was home to 17th-century British pirates. Further, both destinations are home to world-class beaches, but if you choose Manta over the Maldives, you’ll interact with English speakers rather than having to struggle with Dheivehi, the local language.
Expect to hobnob with ordinary people at Manta Island Resort, while you may be intimidated by high-profile guests frequenting resorts in the Maldives, yet you can still expect enough luxury at Manta to make you feel like a celeb! Manta, it seems, is the ultimate alternative to far-flung destinations, and can you put a price on the stress your body will have to endure during a flight to the Maldives that takes anywhere from 22 to 45 hours?
More commonalities than differences
Depending upon your departure city, you may only spend 2.5 hours tethered to your seatbelt en route to Belize, which means that you’ll be fresh and eager to make your own comparisons between the two destinations from the minute you arrive at Manta Island Resort. Both destinations deliver over-water serenity, barefoot-luxury, and turquoise waters that surround both shorelines. Even reaching Manta by boat is an exclusive experience. There are only twice-a-week transfers. This limited access ensures a peaceful, crowd-free experience at Manta, reinforcing the exclusivity of this Caribbean haven. Folks who have visited both nations say they’re interchangeable!
Browse the Manta website to see the spacious accommodations with uninterrupted views of the Caribbean Sea, laid-back elegance, privacy, and a curated experience only a world class resort can provide. If you haven’t decided which destination makes the most sense, check out Manta’s current specials. Don’t bother to look for generous discounts in the Maldives. The kinds of sales that make it possible to stay at Manta don’t exist there!
